I. Different Standards:
Zero-Energy Building ≠ Zero-Carbon Building
Zero-Energy focuses on energy savings during the building's operational phase, while Zero-Carbon emphasizes controlling carbon emissions throughout the entire building lifecycle. While they are related, their core concepts differ.
1. Different Certification Standards:
a) Zero-Energy Building: "Near Zero Energy Building Technical Standards"
b) Zero-Carbon Building: "Building Carbon Emission Calculation Standard“
2. Key Differences in Metrics:
a) Zero-Energy Building requires an energy savings rate of 60%–75%.
b) Zero-Carbon Building requires an energy savings rate of at least 50%.
Zero-Carbon Building certification includes carbon emissions across the entire lifecycle—material production, transportation, construction, usage, and demolition/recycling—while Zero-Energy Buildings focus solely on energy savings during the operational phase.
3. The relationship between energy savings and carbon reduction depends on the situation:
a) Using fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) ties energy consumption to carbon emissions, so energy savings also reduce carbon emissions.
b) Using clean energy (hydropower, wind, solar) results in zero-carbon emissions, making energy consumption and carbon emissions unrelated.
Summary: Energy savings focus on conserving energy, while carbon reduction focuses on environmental protection. The type of energy used is more important than the amount.
II. Innovative Application of
Technology + Scenarios:
What is HAZO EcoHome?Traditional buildings generate significant greenhouse gas emissions during the stages of material production, transportation, construction, operation, and demolition. From its inception, HAZO EcoHome has focused on managing carbon emissions throughout its entire lifecycle. By incorporating both active and passive design strategies, it achieves emission reduction and carbon control, going beyond just energy management during the operational phase.
The HAZO EcoHome achieves net-zero carbon emissions through modular construction, renewable energy, and efficient resource management. It helps combat climate change, promotes sustainable development, and offers a comfortable, smart living experience.
1. Mobile Modular Construction Technology:HAZO EcoHome uses prefabricated production and integrated assembly techniques, allowing for quick deployment, disassembly, and reassembly with a loss rate of less than 3%. The modular design shortens construction time, reduces costs, and minimizes construction waste.
2. Green and Eco-Friendly Materials:The main materials include lightweight, high-strength zinc steel and an all-aluminum structure. Non-toxic, eco-friendly insulation ensures low energy consumption and a long lifespan. The cabin boasts excellent resistance to extreme weather, fire, moisture, earthquakes, and typhoons, with a lifespan of up to 50 years.
3. Renewable Energy + Energy Storage Technology:Through photovoltaic building integration, solar energy is converted with up to 90% efficiency, generating 200-220 watts per square meter. The cabin is equipped with an expandable energy storage system, visualized via an app, providing efficient, safe energy use with a lifespan of up to 25 years.
4. Zero Wastewater Discharge Technology:HAZO EcoHome uses grey and black water separation and purification technology to treat wastewater to direct discharge standards, eliminating the need for underground sewage systems. It is equipped with rainwater collection, wastewater recycling, and water-saving devices to reduce dependence on water resources.
Additionally, the EcoHome integrates smart home technology, environmental control system and diffused oxygen systems, enhancing safety, comfort, and convenience for residents.
III. Renewable Energy + Cultural Tourism:
HAZO EcoHome Applications
HAZO EcoHome serves as an innovative, perfect addition to the global travel and hospitality industry. It can be used in various scenarios such as vacation homes, hotels, guesthouses, flexible office spaces, dining facilities, scenic area businesses, and shared recreational spaces.
HAZO EcoHome also offers a platform for businesses, social organizations, and individuals to explore and practice the development of "Renewable Energy + Cultural Tourism."
